On Friday, October 30, the International Student Gathering, "NITech Global Campus Connect," was held at the Sky Cafeteria on the first floor of the University Hall.

This event marked its second year following the successful inaugural program in 2025, attracting more than 100 participants, including students, faculty, and staff members.
In his opening remarks, President Obata encouraged participants to value opportunities to meet people from diverse backgrounds and to use the event as a starting point for building new connections and friendships.

Throughout the venue, posters featuring study abroad experiences from students who had participated in short-term and long-term study abroad programs were displayed. Students with overseas study experience wore "Ask Me" name tags, making it easy for those interested in studying abroad to ask questions and seek advice. This created an active environment for information sharing and discussion.

In addition, an interactive activity titled "Country Bingo," facilitated by three international students, provided participants with an enjoyable opportunity to meet new people and expand their networks in a relaxed atmosphere.
The event maintained a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the program and served as a valuable opportunity to deepen mutual understanding among participants.

NITech will continue to create opportunities for interaction among people from diverse cultural backgrounds and support students in broadening their global perspectives and personal growth.
